Manitowoc CNF0201A-N 315 lb Countertop Nugget Ice Maker and Water Dispenser, 10 lb Bin, Solid Front Panel, Touch-Free

The Manitowoc CNF0201A-N is a countertop nugget ice maker and water dispenser built for healthcare floors, break rooms, cafeterias, and self-serve beverage stations that need chewable nugget ice at the point of use rather than a walk to a back-of-house machine. It produces up to 315 lb of nugget ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water, and 222 lb per day at 90°F air and 70°F water, feeding a 10 lb bin above the chute so cup-at-a-time traffic keeps flowing while the machine rebuilds the buffer behind it. Ice only, water only, or ice and water dispense from touchless sensing behind a solid front panel, arriving with the ice and water option factory selected for completely touch-free operation. Because the working reserve is the smaller of the line, this model fits locations that pour steadily through the day rather than in crushes; the CNF0202 versions hold twice the ice for heavier bursts, and an operation that fills pitchers and buckets by the scoopful is better served by a floor-standing ice machine and bin. Plan on a 115V outlet for the 6 ft cord and NEMA 5-15P plug, a 3/8 in. water line, a drain routed out the back or bottom of the cabinet, and 24 in. of open space above the top-exhaust condenser.

315 lb Daily Nugget Production in a 16.25 In. Wide Countertop Cabinet

The cabinet measures 16.25 in. wide by 24.00 in. deep by 35.00 in. tall without legs, sized to share a counter with the coffee station instead of claiming floor space. Ice waits in the 10 lb storage bin directly above the dispense point, so every pour is gravity-fed and immediate. Legs are sold separately as kit K-00345, and the K-00453 stand gives the machine its own footing when no counter space is available.

85% Ice Content Nugget for Maximum Cooling With Minimal Dilution

Each nugget measures 3/8 in. to 1/2 in. in width and length on average, and the bite-sized piece carries 85% ice content with only 15% water, one of the best nugget ratios available for maximum cooling and minimal drink dilution. The texture stays soft and chewable, a shape patients and customers favor, while the small pieces flow cleanly through the chute for great dispensability.

DuraTech Front Panel With a 10.50 In. Dispense Opening and Blue LED

The DuraTech front panel cleans easily and resists hardwater staining in the dispense area, so the machine keeps its front-of-house appearance between wipe-downs. A 10.50 in. opening from grate to chute clears tall containers and sports bottles, a larger drain pan minimizes ice spillage, and a blue LED lights the dispense point in rooms with limited ambient light. This model ships with the solid front panel and the ice and water option selected, making the machine completely touch-free for hygiene-critical settings.

Up-Front Selector Switch and Patented Cleaning Technology

Ice, off, and clean operations start from a simple selector switch on the front of the machine, so daily operation never requires removing a panel. Manitowoc's patented cleaning technology manages the cleaning process from start to finish once initiated. Air enters the right side and exhausts out the top, which keeps the front clear for dispensing and lets the unit sit close to a back wall.

1/3 HP R404A Refrigeration System on a 115V Cord-and-Plug Circuit

A 1/3 HP compressor running R404A rejects 2,300 BTU per hour on average and draws 10.3 amps total on a 115V, 60 Hz single-phase circuit with a 15 amp maximum fuse; HACR-type circuit breakers can be used in place of fuses. Efficiency comes in at 6.69 kWh and 12 gal of potable water per 100 lb of ice at the 90°F/70°F rating point, and the machine holds spec from 45°F to 110°F ambient with 45°F to 90°F incoming water.
